The statue of David is an amazing piece of art. It was carved from an amazingly large piece of marble and stands about 17 feet. But what is also amazing about it is that no one was willing to do anything for a long time with the big block of marble. It was an under taking that no one would touch. Until finally one day an artist was willing to turn that block of marble into something. He chipped away at it. He just chipped away what was not the form known as David.
In the same way, we create who we are. We have things that are part of our life, our personality that don’t really belong. It could be heartache. It could be loneliness. It could be addiction. It could be depression. And you know what we can do? We can chip those things away. We can chip away the things that are not you. You are not heartache, loneliness, addiction, depression or anything else. Those things don’t belong.
What will be left is the beautiful creation of you.
